"Elisio and his crew were great and very fast. We used them to clear some brush, level our yard, and install an above-ground pool. They did all of it in a day. He's been doing level for a long time and it's his main specialty so he know what he's doing. I high recommend!"

"I've had the ground guys install a retaining wall and french drain. They worked in the mud, still in a good mood and explained everything to me before, during and after the process. Everyone is incredibly nice and their work is exceptional. I just moved to Cedar Creek and Grounds Guys made the landscaping stress free. I plan to always use them when I need ANY yard work and cannot recommend them enough!"

"The tile was installed prior to completing all the other rebuilding items after Hurricane Harvey so there was too much drywall and debris embedded in the tile for me to remove. The owner was very responsive once scheduled they stuck to the timing. The floors were so bad, that the 2 young men working got on their hands & knees to ensure they were able to get up as much as possible. They even came back the next day to finish up for no additional charge even though they should of charged more. Many in our neighborhood recommended them and we were very happy we went with them. Great service all the way around and same price as others quoted."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Athens, TX

To calculate how much pea gravel you need for your project, multiply the length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover to find the volume in cubic feet. Then, divide that number by 27 to convert it to cubic yards to determine the amount of pea gravel you need.

A yard of pea gravel weighs about 1.3 tons or 2,600 pounds. Keep in mind that wet gravel weighs more than dry, and different types of gravel can vary in weight. For example, due to its density, river rock weighs significantly more than crushed stone and pea gravel.

The ideal depth for pea gravel depends on the type and size of your project. You'll need at least two to three inches for walkways and patios and a minimum of six inches for driveways to support heavy vehicles and prevent shifting over time. Aim for a depth of three to four inches in decorative garden beds or drainage areas.

Pea gravel is attractive, versatile, and low-maintenance. It provides excellent drainage, making it ideal for pathways, driveways, and garden beds. On the downside, its sharp texture isn't ideal for bare feet, and it can be challenging to weed or remove once installed. It can also shift underfoot without proper edging, creating an uneven surface.

Alternative landscaping materials you can use instead of pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, pebbles, quartz, mulch, sand, and river rock. These materials offer different aesthetics, performance, and costs, so it’s important to do your research to determine which one best fits your landscape design and budget.

Many homeowners choose pea gravel because it requires minimal upkeep compared to other landscaping materials. You'll need to rake it occasionally to redistribute the stones and maintain an even surface. Pros also recommend installing weed barrier fabric beneath the gravel to prevent unwanted growth, although some weeds may still appear over time.
